Fenton's Creamery (Oakland, CA)

Ice cream has never really been my thing for some reason, and I much prefer cookies, but Fenton's definitely satisfies one good ice cream craving! Best known for the Fenton's challenge (and being featured in Up), this all-American creamery serves up some of the meanest sundaes that you will ever have. Coffee ice cream (since it doesn't usually taste as sweet) is kind of my go-to, but the Black & Tan, which is made of toasted almonds, vanilla ice cream, fudge, and more, is one of my favorite combos at Fenton's. I would definitely recommend 2-3 people to one of the Sundaes of the Sophisticate, as their servings are more than generous!

I like to complement my sugary overload with a Basket of Fries - but that's just me. I had their Mushroom Swiss Burger, but was not impressed at all, and sorta regretted it. I'd definitely just stick to their ice cream [and fries], and make sure you coax someone into doing the Fenton's challenge!

part of the fudgy goodness of the challenge...

Price: 15 USD for any of their creations | $$ for ice cream

I am Chipotle Monster, Hammy Tammy, Burger Fiend, a lean mean eating machine who loves food, learning, creating, and trying new things. I have a B.S. in Nutritional Science from The University of California Berkeley, a consequence of love for food and biology. I've been moving to a different country every few years for the last decade or so, and I've had the privilege of not only sampling, but actually discovering the uniqueness of some of the cities I've lived in. My no-fluff "scathing reviews" (I prefer honest) of some of the worst and best fooding destinations is really an open diary of me orienting myself in cities around the world.

If you are wondering what Edesian Feast means, the name comes from the Roman goddess of food. With her name associated with luxury and feasting, Edesia is the divine spirit believed to be the one who blesses banquets. As food was and is of utmost importance in Roman culture, it is also very much so in Taiwanese culture. If you've ever met anyone from Taiwan, you know that they're always thinking about what to eat for their next meal...

I'm a coffeefish with a love for steak, sashimi, tacos, key lime pie, and sticky rice cake, but I'll try almost anything once. This is a space to drool and feast your eyes upon delicious pictures and share the best fooding experiences around the world, so don't hesitate to drop me a recommendation and follow my adventures!
